SLW #006: Standout from the data sardine can
Believe it or not, it works. Business Analysis + Data Analysis.
I currently have 15,000 followers on LinkedIn, "data analyst" is one of my major group of followers.
Based on my observations, I've noticed some common learning scopes and passions within this group.
These are simply my observations:
Data analysts typically aspire to:
- Master visualization tools: Aiming to become proficient in tools such as Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and more.
- Master programming languages: Seeking to enhance their skills in languages like SQL, Python, and R.
- Study complex statistical analysis: Having a strong interest in delving into intricate statistical analysis techniques.
- Create charts and reports: Focusing on generating visually appealing and informative charts and reports.
- Automate tasks: Aiming to automate repetitive processes involved in their work.
Correct! these areas align with the core responsibilities of a data analyst!
But, I rarely hear about their active pursuit of business knowledge. Understanding the business context is vital, as it is the destination of numbers.
When individuals reach out to me seeking career advice, I answer "Learn business".
Surprisingly, I seldom receive replies indicating that they have been actively learning about the business aspect. Instead, they tend to discuss the data courses they have completed or are currently undertaking.
That's good news.
A great opportunity to standout from a data sardine can.
Imagine running a business and seeking a partner or employee.
What qualities would you look for?
Business acumen, the ability to transform numbers into actionable insights or practical applications for the business, and a genuine understanding of the business context would be highly valued.
